But, then it hit me hard.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.
And, I had not made it.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I vividly remember that evening.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I did not go back to my home.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
The batch sizes were huge!
Worked for a marketing agency
Dropped them
What have I done wrong? How can I start over?
.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Keep your ego aside.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And..
Do you usually wear your panties over or under your pantyhose?
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
Anyway!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was alone in Delhi back then
All the best!
“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Cleared multiple of them
“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And entered the park.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
